1 my brother was reading LOTR and I picked it up (it was the movie version) and started asking who the actors at the back we’re supposed to be, and then my brother started reading it to me.(he had the best voices for all the different characters it was awesome)

2 i mean I just love Tolkien, his books actually make you feel something, something that will never go away and I think that’s really special.

3 Tolkien has really meant so so much to me, he’s what I always go back to no matter what, LOTR will always be my favorite book hands down, it’s just such a beautiful unique book that I’ll always remember and continue to be inspired by, Tolkien really is a huge part of my life.

Great answer! I love hearing how people first encountered Tolkien! I also really like doing the voices for all the characters in LOTR especially Sam, Pippin, Boromir and Gandalf!

That’s awesome! Do you read it aloud and everything?

Yes! Sometimes to myself or others. I also am always saying quotes from the books/movies!😊 There are so many wonderful quotes in LOTR!

Oh my gosh yes I totally agree, and I do the same! I always try to slip in Tolkien quotes to all my conversations!

That's great!

I was familiar with the movies since they were released but I've only recently started reading Tolkien's books. I like the way he writes fantasy and his world-building. I'm reading The Fellowship of the Ring right now and loving it.
